    This thesis examines the impact of access to water on the economic performance of rural agricultural households in Colombia, using data from the Colombian Longitudinal Survey (ELCA) and a mixed methodological approach that combines panel data econometrics and system dynamics. The findings reveal that households relying on informal water sources such as wells, natural resources, or water tankers face income penalties ranging from 11% to 14% compared to those with formal access via aqueducts. This suggests that water insecurity not only threatens health and well-being but also undermines agricultural productivity and market access, contributing to persistent poverty. The system dynamics model identifies feedback loops between water access, infrastructure investment, agricultural productivity, and household expenditures, offering a broader understanding of territorial dynamics and potential interventions. Based on these results, the thesis proposes public policy recommendations aimed at strengthening rural water infrastructure, integrating basic services like energy and sanitation, promoting community-based water management, and adopting monitoring and purification technologies. It concludes that improving access to water in rural areas is essential to fostering economic development, territorial equity, and climate resilience.
